We wouldn’t want to deprive tourists of the authentic New York experience.

Correct, it’s fear mongering from the gothamist.

More fear mongering from the gothamist. It’s literally impossible to go hungry in this city.

Lol, I’m not. He’s a ridiculous loser who should be removed from office. But the constant threads are a little ridiculous at this point. We get it he’s a deranged moron.

Correct, but if you even suggest that you get downvoted to hell, it’s pretty funny.

It’s almost as if NY is a moderate state and not far left like the Reddit crowd likes to perpetuate.
Edit: and the downvotes proving my point.

Can we talk about making “George Santos Megathread” at this point?

It’s laughable that the Reddit crowd thinks that most people living in this city would be okay with a jail being built in their neighborhood.

I don’t think closing the physical space would matter much, the vast majority of people that are being held on Rikers are being accused of pretty serious crimes. The solution shouldn’t be to release dangerous people pretrial just for a statistic. Speeding up the courts will get people sentenced and sent upstate (or wherever) where they can serve their actual time.

We should focus on speeding up the courts so someone isn’t waiting 200+ days for their case to be heard.

Probably because it’s not the best use of police resources to have them solely standing at turnstiles waiting for people to jump them.

Lol not everyone who’s an armed guard wants to be a cop, and many are retired from various law enforcement agency’s. It’s extremely difficult to get a armed guard license in NY. If you were ineligible to be a police officer, you wouldn’t be able to get an armed guard license.

That’s definitely what happened, people on here are too soft. They’re also very quick to demonize working class PoC (which these guards are) without due process, yet will make any excuse for why a career criminal shouldn’t be held in jail.

If a guard asked you to use the turnstile instead of the emergency exit, would you have gotten into a verbal altercation with them and started recording them? Seems pretty ridiculous.

Possibly, but the fact that she pretty much only resonated with wealthy NYers was a bit concerning. Adams had the poor/working class PoC vote which gave him the edge, as seen by the primary breakdown: https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2021-nyc-mayoral-analysis/

Reply to NYC eviction rate continues to rise since ban was lifted, as homelessness surges by flightwaves
Hard hitting journalism from the gothamist. No one could have foreseen evictions increasing after the end of the moratorium!
“The number of legal residential removals rose each month from January to November following the end of the pandemic-spurred eviction moratorium that halted all but 239 legal removals between March 15, 2020 and its expiration on Jan. 15, 2022, according to city data.”
